Abstract

Aim: the aim of this paper is to investigate, from the perspective of nurse managers, the means/factors that facilitate the implementation process of patient safety strategies. Method: seventy-two nurse managers from four university hospitals of the state of Paraná participated, through an individual interview, which was recorded and guided by the question "Tell me about aspects that facilitate the implementation of safety strategies in this hospital." The statements were transcribed in full and were submitted for content analysis in the thematic modality. Results: two categories emerged from the speeches: "Management tools as facilitators in the implementation of patient safety strategies" and "Educational processes: means that facilitate the implementation of patient safety strategies". Conclusion: it was found that the support of the top management contributed greatly to the implementation of security strategies, as well as the militant leadership for this benefit and the improvement of human capital, which was strictly conveyed to the institutional teaching characteristic.
